I am so crazy excited to have a great friend and one of my favorite bloggers in the world visit here today and share some of her incredible food with you. She is the one and only Marla Meridith from Family Fresh Cooking. Her recipes are not only delicious but really good for you. She has an amazing ability to coax whole ingredients into something tasty and guilt free. And her food photography makes me salivate every time.

Take it away Marla!

Can I tell you how happy I am to be guest posting here at Georgia’s blog? Thanks so much for inviting me Miss. G. I might already be acquainted with some of you. If this is our first meeting *shake hands* Glad to meet you. I am sharing recipes from my lil’ blog Family Fresh Cooking. Georgia is busy eating lots of good food in NYC as she judges Iron Chef America. Is that cool or what?!

A few things you need to know before we talk about food…

~ I love the outdoors.
~ I do not hunt, gather, grow or harvest my own food. I would like to though.
~ I cook a lot, take pictures of food and blog about it. Obsessively.
~ I feed myself and my family whole food ingredients.
~ I am a type A, petite mom of two who cannot sit still. This is both good and ridiculous at the same time.
~ I travel as often as possible to make new friends, eat great food, ski & play.
~ I like LOVE to play and be HAPPY. Guest posting here at Georgia’s makes me very *happy* So do the mountains.
~ I drink obsessive amounts of coffee. Which might make help contribute to the “can’t sit still” thing.

When Georgia releases her new book in the fall I told her that I want to go on a hunting trip with her. In heels. She told me she’ll teach me how to capture a wild boar. Game on. I will wear my running shoes for that. For dinner I will wear the heels. Or my cowboy boots. G & I apparently have a thing for boots. We both like plaid shirts too. That is me & my boot by the way. *hi*

Georgia and I have been friends online for some time now. We were roomies at BlogHer Food and we are both from NY. I know she lives a really cool life. Not only does she travel tons, blog, hunt, butcher and cook up the most amazing food………
She looks gorgeous while doing it. Georgia you are my Food Hero, okay?

We always talk about hanging out, going on some awesome trip and cooking together. She will teach me pioneer cooking skills. Here are some recipes we can make together. We would source all local ingredients from her food artisan pals. Georgia would hunt and fish for all the meat and fish. I will cook, eat and blog about it.
